If someone films themself, promotes and distributes the film on a public hosting platform, and encourages views, it would be mentally deficient to expect viewers to not have an opinion.

Its more than fair game, its encouraged by the poster.
People are spoiled, that's my opinion. Most of utube are people just trying to help others and is a valuable resource that we should be grateful, not nit picking of.

I'm certainly not giving trophies and agree there are bad videos that are boring and lame, but I'm not paying for them. It takes time and effort to do even the lamest videos and for me personally I applause them . I can see if you were paying for them and wanting a better product but just to sit back complaining about something that is , for one, free and secondly, you don't have to watch. Just my opinion and I'm old too

My time has value.
I have every right to have an opinion especially of time wasting, poorly planned youtube videos.
My opinion doesnt affect them one bit.

Im interested to know why you think we shouldnt have honest opinions of publicly displayed videos?

Well it were motion pictures, tv, or stuff like that I can see, but when some regular guy or gal takes time out of their day for no reason but to help out individuals, I think it's wrong just to sit here, whining and complaining about it. There are people in this world who don't have it this good, they don't have the opportunity to , but people get spoiled and just want, want and if it's not up to their standards, ..well it's just never good enough for some people.

Seriously? Opinions are fine, I can see someone saying they don't like this particular guy, or that this particular reviewer is good, but most are saying, "oh this guy takes to long to open a package" and "this guy takes too many puffs" . Or " I hate long intro's". It Kind of reminds me of , let's say a group of people, just from the kindness of their hearts, tried to clean up litter on the streets and didn't do such a great job but tried, meanwhile others are watching and talking amongst themselves saying what a crappie job their doing.

Please quote where I said any of those things.
I made general observations of poorly made, long winded, time wasting videos of which there are thousands.
You seem to have issue that I have an opinion. Thats your problem, not mine.

And standing on the sidelines?
Maybe you should check my post history here. Ive enjoyed years of helping vapers right here for free.
Not shilling crap for freebies or youtube revenue.

I don't mind reviewers vaping but i can't help but cringe when they lean back from the camera so that the oral ejaculate goes full screen. Oh and when they suck in a lungful and a half while squinting their eyes. Oh and when their eyes follow the vapour with a 'see how cool i am' smugness......
I don't watch many reviews.

Im with you, it makes me rofl when i see reviewer tools eyes widen with alarm when they realise theyve taken in waaaaay more vapour (and possibly very hot vapour) than anyone ever needs, just to look cool when they exhale

Six pages? One of the great things about vape videos is the complete absence of a requirement to watch them. Even if there are 10,000 vape videos on YouTube, 9,900 of which are of poor production quality and lacking in any objectivity, they do not prevent me from vaping. They can be posted there and my day to day routine is completely unaffected. Which really makes it difficult to get how 6 pages of posts was sustained on the topic.

YouTube is the video equivalent of personal blogs. Not to knock any blogger but the vast majority are either poorly or flat out unreadable, or filled with material of questionable reliability. The good news? No one forces me to read them either.

I like YouTube for for instructional video. It's easier for me to see how to build a coil than read a description (even with still photos). Spinning those fancy coils is complicated for me and I need all the help I can find. A video of assembly and wicking of some tanks is also great, especially when there is no instruction from the manufacturer as to which of the twenty o rings supplied go where.

As for reviews, well, to me you can pretty much tell in the first 5 minutes of one, you're going to want to throw a trashcan through your monitor or not, and whether the opinion offered will have redeeming feature. As it's frequently one or both of the above. I simply stop and move on. I don't want to keep replacing monitors I break because someone blows a giant cloud of vapor then coughs up pieces of lung while mumbling "wow! great vape!".
